Rianne de Heide @rdeheide.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Dear people applying to vacancies: if the vacancy asked for 2 references, don't write in your documents that they are available on request. This is the request! And I keep getting frustrated about the dozens of people I have to reject immediately because they did not supply all requested documents. 010 0

Rianne de Heide @rdeheide.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Moreover, universities are crucial for innovation: the buzzword that our current government inserts as a solution to any problem: nitrogen, climate, microchips, farming, energy, and what not.
